A thin rod has a length of 0.233 m and rotates in a
circle on a frictionless tabletop. The axis is perpendicular to the
length of the rod at one of its ends. The rod has an angular
velocity of 0.464 rad/s and a moment of inertia
of 1.25 x 10-3 kg·m2. A bug
standing on the axis decides to crawl out to the other end of the
rod. When the bug (whose mass is 5 x 10-3 kg) gets
where it's going, what is the change in the angular velocity of the
rod?
